Tecno Phantom 6 Plus Review

The Tecno brand has once again not failed the mobile community with the recent official release of its latest powerful smartphone device. The Tecno Phantom 6 plus is a fine example of exquisite technological advancement in the mobile world. You will realize why as you read further and most definitely agree with me. Sit tight…

Design

The first thing we notice on this device is how it looks. The Phantom 6 plus design is slickness at its very best. I love the metallic design. It is only 7.7mm slim. This makes it very easy to handle and it slides into the pocket easily. When holding this device, you definitely won’t feel like you’re holding a rock. Everyone loves a good design and Tecno has delivered well on this. The ergonomics and aesthetics are well on point.

Display

The phantom 6 plus comes with a display of about 6.0 inches. In addition to this, it possesses a Corning Gorilla glass 3.0 which protects it from getting cracked in case it accidentally falls. It is also scratch proof. This is some sweet assurance for us all as far as the screen is concerned.

Hardware

It comes with a 4GB RAM, 64GB Internal Memory space which is also expandable up to 128GB with microSD card. The phantom 6 plus also has a dual micro-SIM slot. Of course, it has the Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HiOS v1.0.

Battery

As expected, the battery is non-removable which is not much of a problem. It is a 4,050mAh Li-ion Battery. This gives us approximately 72 hours of usage before it requires charging. Cool, isn’t it?

This device boasts of a 4G LTE network connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Wi-Fi Direct, Bluetooth 4.0 LE, A2DP and a GPS with A-GPS. It also supports NFC.

Tecno also introduced the USB Type-C port into their device for the 1st time

Iris scanner

This is one feature I love. This ensures better lock security for your device. It means that you can unlock your phone by putting your eyes close to the camera while it scans your iris. Obviously, you can unlock your device only when your eyes are open.
